9th Dalai Lama
Dalai Lama of Tibet (1810–1815)Template:SHORTDESC:Dalai Lama of Tibet (1810–1815)
Lungtok Gyatso (T. lung rtogs rgya mtsho ལུང་རྟོགས་རྒྱ་མཚོ།) (1 December 1805 – 6 March 1815), was the 9th Dalai Lama of Tibet. He was the only Dalai Lama to die in childhood and was first of a string of four Dalai Lamas to die before reaching 22 years of age.
"In 1807, he was recognized as the reincarnation of the Eighth Dalai Lama and was escorted to Lhasa with great ceremony. In 1810, he was enthroned at the Potala Palace. He took his novice vows from the Pachen Lama, who gave him the name Lungtok Gyatso. Unfortunately, he died in 1815 at the very young age of nine."[1]

9th Dalai Lama
Spiritual leader of Tibet from 1810 to 1815
The 9th Dalai Lama, Lungtok Gyatso (full given name Lobzang Tenpai Wangchuk Lungtok Gyatso, also spelled Lungtog Gyatso and Luntok Gyatso; 1 December 1805 – 6 March 1815), was recognized as the 9th Dalai Lama of Tibet. He was the first and the youngest Dalai Lama among four successive Dalai Lamas whom succumbed to illnesses before reaching 22 years of age.
Early life
[edit]Under auspicious signs, Lungtok Gyatso was born near the monastery of Dan Chokhor (or Denchokor), on 1 December 1805.[1] Many sources render him as an orphan, but others name his parents as Tendzin Chokyong and Dondrub Dolma.[1] A contestant to be the next Dalai Lama since early infancy, the boy was brought to Gungtang monastery near Lhasa, where he was examined by Tibetan officials, including the Qing representatives, the ambans. He was the favored choice of the Eighth Dalai Lama's attendants. He was ultimately identified by the Seventh Panchen Lama, Gedun Choekyi Nyima, who performed the tonsure ceremony and gave him the name Lobzang Tenpai Wangchuk Lungtok Gyatso in 1808.[1]
Life as Dalai Lama
[edit]In 1810, he was enthroned at the Potala Palace on the Golden Throne of the Ganden Po-drang Govern
